Research Associate Position in Computational Simulation of Cerebral Blood Flow at University College London, UK 2012
Study Subject(s):Computational Simulation of Cerebral Blood Flow
Course Level:Research
Scholarship Provider: Qatar National Research Fund as part of the CER2EBRAL
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility:
-Applicants must have very substantial experience of the use of lattice-Boltzmann or other computational fluid dynamics methods within a high performance computing environment.
-Experience of visualisation and/or medical imaging would be advantageous. A proven ability to programme large scale parallel applications is essential.
-Applicants should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in physics, applied mathematics, computational engineering or computer science and a proven ability to work as a member of a team.
Scholarship Open for International Students: No
Scholarship Description: The successful candidate will join a very active inter-disciplinary group in the Centre for Computational Science, and will work on the development and deployment of medical and clinical applications of the lattice-Boltzmann method for blood flow. This post is funded by the Qatar National Research Fund as part of the CER2EBRAL project designed to support surgical decision support in the treatment of patients suffering from aneurysms and other neurovascular malformations. The appointee will work primarily on large scale scientific applications of HemeLB, a powerful lattice-Boltzmann modelling environment for the simulation of blood flow in support of clinical decision making and physiological research. The postholder will be expected to engage closely in the development of software within the project, and with the supporting tools and services under concurrent development, that will facilitate efficient deployment of HemeLB within a clinical setting within one or more hospitals collaborating in this work. In particular, he/she will incorporate models of flow-diverting stents and validate these in both in vitro models and in vivo trials. The position is funded for a period of two years in the first instance. Start date will be at an agreed date within three months from 1st November 2012.
Please note, appointment at Grade 7 is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be at Research Assistant Grade 6 (salary £28,057 â€" £29,585 per annum) with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.
